happy? birthday

I am another day older today, the ripe age of 38! I am not one to lament my age, don't worry ;) But it has been an interesting morning so far.

Before 8 a.m. this morning:

-my dog got into my bathroom garbage. Girly products shredded and strewn all over the place. THEN...he threw up 2 full tampons. I cannot even begin to describe how gross that is.-we heard something in the wall: looks like we have a mouse (or something) in there! Right by a light switch, so I have to get the exterminator in here before it chews through a wire and burns down our house. Since we have had FIVE YEARS of renovations (and not the fun kind, the my-roof-is-leaking kind) that just finally ended in December, I am less then thrilled at the idea of someone coming over and cutting a new hole in my wall- my one treat to myself in my busy day today- a massage- was cancelled due to illness. Sigh.- long discussion with Big G regarding his use of the F* bomb yesterday......seriously. Already?

On the plus side:

-I enjoyed a nice workout with a friend, who sent me home with homemade soup and goodies for lunch-I received some adorable homemade cards and lots of hugs and kisses from my children. The Middle Child even drew a "Disney Quilt" in hers to combine my quilting love with the excitement of our upcoming holiday :)-lots of lovely messages from good friends and family

All in all, pretty eventful for this early in the morning! And I think, weighing it out, things will balance on the positive side, despite the early morning glitches! It is going to be a great day :)

Before you call the exterminator try some do it your self stuff for mr mousie. Buy a package of the orginial mouse traps(Snap Traps), 4 in a pack. Then grabe a pack of wriggles juicyfruit gum. Set one the traps under your bathroom sink with the gum as the bait. I like on under the kitchen sink too. The smell of the gum is fabulous to the mice. Mice use the holes around your plumbing to get in and out.

Happy birthday, things can only get better! As for the dog incident, when I was 18 I ended up kind of co-hosting a friend's 16th birthday party (long story) but one of the girls that came drank too much, and then threw up all over the toilet floor, and pulled her tampon out and deposited it in the mess too. Luckily, due to other circumstances, I didn't have to clean that one up!

It's funny how life just keeps on going regardless of birthdays. I hope your special day got better and that you are able to spend your evening with those you love most. HaPPy BirTHdAy to you, Kristie! Smiles~Beth

You're probably sleeping off those 38 years already, but just wanted to chime in before midnight BC time and say happy day!!! Mice in the wall....yeah, been there. Annually. I hope you guys have a fabulous family vacation!
